About the Fair

The annual Kansas State Fair is held annually beginning the Friday following Labor Day and lasts for 10 days at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, Kansas.

The largest single event in the State, the Fair annually attracts approximately 350,000 people from all 105 Kansas counties and several other states.

The Fair offers tremendous opportunities for commerce with over 1,000 commercial vendor locations; for competition, with over 30,000 entries in various competitive exhibit departments; for education, through its Kansas' Largest Classroom field trip program; and for entertainment with strolling and stage entertainment in addition to the national acts performing at the Grandstand.

In addition to the annual State Fair, the Fairgrounds' facilities are utilized throughout the year for a wide array of events, including horse and livestock shows, trade shows, flea markets, wedding receptions, family reunions, and company picnics, to name just a few.

Community Ambassador Program

“Community Ambassador Program” is a second year program in association with the Kansas State Fair. We invite all ages to take part in the Community Ambassador Program. However, this job requires transportation to distribute Kansas State Fair marketing information. This would be an 8-10 hour commitment in which you would have the opportunity to help promote the Kansas State Fair in advertising, by distributing fliers, posters and other promotional materials. Instructions will be provided to assist you with distribution. We ask also that you be the eyes and ears of the fair. The time line for this program is from the end of July when the packets of marketing materials are sent to the middle of August when we ask that you have the material posted. Once you have distributed the materials we request you forward distribution locations to the Kansas State Fair via ksfambassadors@hotmail.com or info@kansasstatefair.com.
